Class Description:: Did you know that you can write a high-quality research paper on Japan by using English-language materials? This course is for those who are interested in conducting research on a topic related to Japan and the Japanese empire (such as colonial Korea and Taiwan) for a term paper, a senior paper, or your own enjoyment. No Japanese language is required; in fact, the main purpose of the course is to introduce collections of primary materials (in our libraries and online) in English from the past and the present. Those who want to incorporate Japanese-language materials will have a chance to do so as well. Another purpose of the course is to learn how to do research and write a research paper. Students will do a pilot research project (pre-arranged by the instructor) at the beginning, and conduct his/her own research project in the latter half of the semester. The course is in a seminar style, with many hands-on mini assignments that guide you step by step to complete a short research paper by the end of the course. It would work best if you take this course before senior paper writing, but it can be taken in conjunction with senior paper writing. Please consult with the instructor.
